JUSTIFICATION OF PREFERRED DESIGN OPTION

Justification: The end user has chosen design WOODGROVE
BANK
option 5 as their preferred design option. They have
chosen this design option for a number of reasons,
those reason being; the great amount of storage that is
present both within the box itself and on all of the
jewellery holders. The container has room for all of the
proscribed items outlines in the questionnaire and
design brief. The design of the box incorporates styles
that the end user likes, the mix of modern geometric
shapes and the wave in the lid/base connection. The
design option has come as a result of extensive
communication with the end user, rough visualisation
sketches and refined drawings. The materials that have
been chosen are, Victorian ash and Tasmanian oak and
are both the preferred choice of Alice Meehan due to
their appearance and their high strength. Alice also
really like the intuitive design where the lid is secured
to the box with small magnets, this allows for the to
stay attached whilst saving as much precious room as
possible inside of the box. The dovetails that hold
together the box will not only give the box a great
amount of strength but will also create interest with the
combination of side grain and end grain.

WORKING DRAWINGS

The working drawings section of the design folio allows for the end user and any other interested parties viewing the folio to easily understand
how the product will be constructed, what joints will be used and what materials will be used in the construction of the product. The ways that
viewers will be able to develop the understanding for this product will be through isometric views, orthogonal drawings, exploded views and
material/cutting lists.

Isometric view:

The isometric view shown on this
slide allows for the reader and end
user to begin to understand the final
product. The isometric view does not
show the product in any great amount
of detail specific but it allows for an
understanding of what the products
features and proportions are.

orthogonal drawings is that they
lack a 3rd dimension, this is why the
use of isometric views and optional

SCHEDULED PRODUCTION PLAN

Introduction:

The scheduled production plan aids the designer and producer in creating a timeline for how long certain tasks will
take. This will also aid in the creation of a Gantt chart. The scheduled production plan also outlines what the
production step entails, the tools required and the safety measures that will be undertaken for planning purposes.

QUALITY MEASURES

Introduction:

The quality measures allow for the designer and producer to implement strategies that will ensure the best quality product is produced. Listing these measures
should also start the producer thinking practically about how this product will go together and allow them to go back and change any design flaws.

Process Quality control measure

Laminating wood When laminating multiple boards together it is important that they are laid out first to ensure they are glued in the correct
orientation. To reduce excess glue squeezing out it is important that when applying the glue the correct amount is
applied. Avoid spreading excess glue on the face of the wood, instead let it semi dry and then remove with a sharp
chisel. Do not over tighten clams to avoid bowing of wood.

Marking joints When marking out the joint it is imperative that time is taken to ensure maximum accuracy. The best way to mark out
Cutting joints joints to first do it with a sharp pencil and then when they are all correct remark them with a sharp marking knife. The
Assembling joints pencil will allow you to make a mistake and rub it out and the marking knife will give you the best accuracy possible.
Finishing
When cutting the dovetails it is important the a sharp saw and chisel are used to avoid tare out and making being
accurate easier. Where possible a guide or jig will be used to aid in keeping the cutting tool square and straight. When
cutting the dowel joints a sharp drill bit will be used and depending on the size of the dowel a pilot hole may be
necessary. When cutting the mitres and half lap joints they will have to be by hand due to the size of the pieces of timber
and the rough nature of some power tools.

When assembling joints all of the joints will be dry fit (without glue) to check that the whole product goes together well
and that no mistakes have been made. One the dry fit is to the standards outlines in the evaluation criteria and quality
statement the joints will be glued together in a logical and practical order. When doing the dry fit it is important that
none of the joints are forced together if the are not 100% right, forcing the joints together could result in breaking the
material, resulting in a wastage of material and loss of time.

When finishing the product with danish oil it is important that the product is sanded first to 220 grit. It is expected that a
180 grit sand paper will have to be used first to avoid wearing out the higher grit sand paper overly fast. The danish oil
will be applied with a rag to avoid brush marks. Three coats are expected to be required but this may change depending
on a number of factors. Product will be sanded with a 400+ grit sand paper in-between coats.

MATERIALS

Introduction:

The materials section allows the designer to justify what they have chosen to use specific materials and specific finishes for
their product.

Material Image Description

Walnut Walnut is a good fit for this product due to its high strength and
straight grain. Walnut will contrast well with the Victorian ash due
to their similar grain patterns yet their vastly different colours. The
walnut will have good strength even in the thin boards that will be
required with this product.

Victorian Ash Victorian ash will be a good fit for this product due to its straight
grain and strength. The Victorian ash will, as mentioned before,
https://www.connollys.com.au/victorian-ash-timber-flooring/ contrast well with the walnut. The contrast will allow for the design
of the box and dovetail joints to be the star of the show.
Danish Oil
Danish oil will be a great finish for this product due to its high gloss
and forgiving finish against the jewellery. The danish oil will also
be a cost effective option that will last a long time in such a stable,
protected environment.

Conclusion: WOODGROVE Number
BANK
The materials chosen in Walnut, Victorian ash and danish oil all complement each other very well. The very unobtrusive finish in
danish oil will allow for the wood and the design features such as the curved box to be the star of the show whilst subtilty

From this test it can be conclude that the Merbau is the
strongest material followed by Tasmanian oak and
Victorian ash. Due to supply issues and an extreme
amount of wastage I have decide that both walnut and

PRODUCTION PROCESSES

Introduction:

In the production processes portion of this design folio the designer looks at what is involved in producing their product
on a large scale. Because the product has been designed on a small scale changes would have to be made to produce it
on a large scale.

JOURNAL

The journal serves the purpose of showing all of the steps involved in the production of this product. The product had many different steps involved
in producing it from gathering the materials all the way through to the final finishing of the product. During the production there were issues
encountered that the producer had to overcome. These issues along with tools used, safety measures, quality measures and comments are included in
this journal. All steps after step 4 were completed at home due to the corona virus lockdown and were completed 100% individually unless
otherwise stated.

Step 1: Sourcing materials Time and date undertaken:

In this stage of the journal the materials were gathered with the help of June 12th 1 hour
my teachers and my father. All of the materials gathered by my teachers
were Victorian ash at 12mm thick. All of the materials that were Safety measures:
gathered by my father and I were from Provans mitre 10 in Clifton hill,
it was all 12 mm thick Tasmanian oak The materials were handled with care to ensure no splinters were
suffered.
Issues faced:
Tools used:
All of the widths stocked by Provans are very small in the 12mm thick
variety. Because of this we had to make decisions on what materials Tape measure
could be ripped to width, laminated together or in one case thicknessed
from 19mm to 12mm.

Quality measures:

All of the material was handled with care to ensure that it was not
dinted or split ensuring that all of the finished could be of the highest
quality.

Teacher/End user comment:

The teachers reminded us to store or wood out of sunlight and away
from excessive moisture until it could be coated in a finish to avoid
warping and bowing of the materials.

Step 2: Sizing of material Time and date undertaken:

This stage saw all of the materials being broken down into there 21st June 90 minutes
finished lengths where possible and just oversized for those pieces yet
to be laminated to all for movement of wood. I was aided in this with Safety measures:
the teacher making 3 or 4 of the cuts for me at school.
The correct hearing protection and eye protection was worn

Some of the material had inherent imperfections so I had to be sure that
these were made to be waist where possible. It was also important to get Tape measure, pencil, making tape, combination square, mitre saw
the most pieces f material out of the most appropriate lengths to reduce
waist.

Quality measures:

All of the cuts made were wrapped in masking the to avoid tear out of
the wood ensuring the best finish. All of the materials were measured
and compared to other pieces where possible to get the most accurate
cuts possible.

Teacher/End user comment:

The teacher told us to focus on safety and not make any cuts we were
not comfortable making.

Step 3: Lamination of materials Time and date undertaken:

Some of the necessary material sizes for this product were unable to be 23rd of June 2 hours
sourced directly off of the shelf due to their unusual sizes. Due to this
some of the materials had to be laminated to make boards wide enough. Safety measures:
This step was undertaken at home during the term break so all of the
work was completed unassisted. All fingers were kept clear f the claps to avoid pinching any fingers

Issues faced: Tools used:

Because the work has to be done unassisted it was hard to glue all of T-bar clamps, quick grip clamps, scrap wood, Wood glue, glue brush

bowing.

Quality measures:

The individual pieces of wood were laid out before they were glued to
find the best grain direction ensuring that the finished board would look
as uniform as possible. All excess glue was removed when it was semi
dry with a chisel to avoid glue staining of the wood.

Teacher/End user comment:

The teacher urged us to put scrap wood between our work and the
clamps to avoid dinting them and laving black stains on the wood.

not wide enough. I ended making a jig where I could screw down the double sided tape
work piece and the run the saw along a guide. (See the attached image)

Quality measures:

All of the cuts were covered in making tape to avoid tear out. Many test
cuts were make to ensure the angle matched up right before the final
piece was cut.

Teacher/End user comment:

The teacher reminded me to ensure the rip was straight to keep the gap
consistent.

Issues faced:
Tools used:
Because the router bit leaves a rounded corner the corners had to be
squared off with a chisel and mallet. This was very hard to do because Router, 9.5mm bearing router bit, quick grip clamps, chisel, mallet,
there was only to be 2.5mm of material left meaning it was very fragile masking tape
until the base was glued in to support it.

Quality measures:

The rebait was cut in many small passes to avoid breaking the wood.
All of the material was also taped with masking tape to reduce tear out
add a little bit more strength.

Teacher/End user comment:

The teacher urged me to be very cautious when using the router as it
would have been very easy to break the wood and this would have set
me back many hours of work.

likely not be seen.

Quality measures:

I made sure to only ever sand with the grain so that I would not scratch
the timber. I was also very aware not to sand the corners too much
making them look rounded over and not matching the sharp lines of the
design.

The lid had a slight amount of bow to it so I had to add extra clamps to
try and keep it straight until the glue was strong enough to hold it
straight.

Quality measures:

I removed any extra glue before it was totally dry to avoid and glue

Step 10: Tray assembly Time and date undertaken:

To assemble the tray I took the bits of Tasmanian oak that I has already 12th /13th of September 3 hours
ripped to 24 and 12 mm. I made a simple boarder with the 24mm wood
with mitred corners then a cross in the middle with the 12mm wood. I Safety measures:

would all fit in any compartment. O glued all of the mitres and the tray When I was cutting the mitres I wore hearing and eye protection
and clamped it. The next day I went back and glued the 12mm bits in
and held them with tape whilst they dried. Tools used:

Issues faced: Mitre saw, pencil, masking tape, glue brush, quick grip clamp

Getting the mitres to be perfect was difficult because so many of the
faces were visible. I got them as accurate as a could in the timeframe I
had allocated.

Quality measures:

The best mitres were paired together to make the tray look as good as
possible.

Step 13: Ring/necklace holder Time and date undertaken:

To make the dowels I sued a bit of 12x12mm wood and planed the 15th of September 1 hour
corners off of it to make it somewhat rounded. I then hammered it
through a 10mm hole in a bit of steel to make it perfectly 10mm round. Safety measures:
I then cut a bit of Tasmanian hard wood to make a backer board for it to
fix to. I drilled 2 10mm hols and glues in the dowels. I wore safety glasses and ear plugs at all time because there was a lot
of wood chips and loud noises.
Issues faced:
Tools used:
I had to make the dowel myself because it was waist full to buy a full
length of dowel when only 100mm was going to be used. Pencil, masking tape, many sized drill bits, drill, impact driver, rule, mallet,
jack plane
Quality measures:

When drilling the holes I masking taped the area to reduce tear out and
made a pilot hole for the hole would be exactly where it need to be.

Quality measures:

I sanded all of the hard to reach places before glue so because they
would be hard to reach once glued together.

Teacher/End user comment:

The teacher encouraged me to not use an excessive amount of glue as it
would become very visible and hard to remove in places. They do not
need to be excessively strong as they will not be under much strain.
